One of the main reasons for resetting back to KS is a bad checksum on the KS
disk.

This could have been the culprit, though I thought it checksummed the disk
after applying the patch. Perhaps it has become corrupted since.

Try another KS disk (patched or not) next time you get a GURU that takes you
back to KS. Then try the same program/GURU after reloading KS from the new
disk.
